Chapter 618: The defeated West Palace
Huang Yuchen was still a little panicked by Lu Zhihui's previous questions. When he heard her words, he almost subconsciously replied: "What's the matter?"
"Some time ago, Qitian was in chaos. The Three Kings and Emperors had fought before. Recently, the war was over. The Emperor of the Western King Chengbi failed. Calculate the time. The soldiers who retreated probably should be near Shacheng. Since you are the legitimate son of the Eastern King's Mansion, I don't think you are a mortal. Why not help my sister solve this urgent problem? If I can help me retreat the defeated soldiers of the Western King's Mansion, then my sister will let you go. What do you think?" Lu Zhihui had a rosy face, her lips curled slightly, and she spoke softly.
Hearing her say this, Huang Yuchen suddenly frowned.
This matter was something he had never considered before, but it was not his fault. During his time in Chihong Sect, the war in the imperial capital had ended and shouldn't have ended so soon, so he naturally wouldn't have expected that there would be defeated soldiers. The Western King's Mansion is located on the edge of Siteng Sha Land, in the extreme west of Qitian. If a large number of defeated soldiers were going to return to the Western King's Mansion, it seemed that the Shacheng seemed to be a must-pass place.
Although he was a little embarrassed by Lu Zhihui, Huang Yuchen's mind was still clear. He quickly analyzed the possibility of the matter. If the defeated soldiers of the Western Prince's Mansion would have appeared near Shacheng in the past few days, the war in the imperial capital might have ended shortly after he arrived at Chihong Sect. He just didn't know how the matter was going. When the eldest brother sent troops, the coalition forces of the Western Prince's Mansion and the Southern Prince's Mansion had been defeated by the Northern Prince Emperor Zhengchu. The Southern Prince's Mansion was almost completely destroyed. The Western Prince led his army to retreat. There was no news of a complete evacuation at that time.
According to the time estimate, if the King of the Western King Chengbi led his army back directly at that time, he would have been able to reach the vicinity of Shacheng in almost the next few days.
The Western Prince's Mansion is already very far away from the imperial capital, and Huang Yuchen couldn't figure out why Huang Chengbi, who is the Western Prince, wanted to do such thankless things. Isn't it good to stay in the Western Regions to be his local emperor? Although the new emperor made many troubles to the Western Prince's Mansion at the beginning, the sky was high and the emperor was far away, and the imperial capital was so far away, so no order had to be executed.
When the Western King went to the imperial capital, there must be some other secrets that others did not know.
Huang Yuchen thought for a moment, and it was almost impossible for the conditions proposed by Lu Zhihui to be achieved. She was not from the Western Prince's Mansion, but the legitimate son of the Eastern Prince's Mansion. Qi Tian's four border guards were originally in harmony and were in a competitive relationship. Now the Western Prince's Mansion failed in the competition in the imperial capital, and the Eastern Prince's Mansion became the yellow bird behind it. In any case, the Eastern Prince's Mansion could not have any good impressions in front of the retreating Western Prince's Mansion. Lu Zhihui said this just to make herself retreat, so she had more reason to trap herself in the sand city.
After thinking about it, Lu Zhihui, as the lord of the Shacheng City, had already learned in advance that the defeated soldiers of the Western Prince's Mansion must have been prepared. Until now, there was no sign of panic in the Shacheng City, but this could explain to a certain extent why such a desolate city was crowded with people. I am afraid that Lu Zhihui had made full preparations to deal with the possible defeated soldiers of the Western Prince's Mansion.
But if you don’t agree, then you still don’t know what kind of situation you will face later.
When Huang Yuchen was thinking about these things, he did not look up at Lu Zhihui. He tried his best to keep his mind clear, because he understood that the woman sitting in front of him was not an ordinary person. A woman who could control the illegal sand city and make all her subordinates obey the rules was definitely not as simple as it seemed. Moreover, this woman was always wearing a gauze dress and had no intention of being afraid of others' invasion. I am afraid that this person's cultivation is not weak.
After thinking about it, Huang Yuchen finally nodded and replied softly: "I don't guarantee that it will happen, but I can try it."
Lu Zhihui showed a hint of undetectable surprise on her face with a smile. She didn't expect that Huang Yuchen would really agree. Anyone could understand such a thing. This was simply impossible. Not to mention that she didn't believe that Huang Yuchen was the legitimate son of the Eastern Prince's Mansion. Even if he was really, there would be even more hatred for the defeated soldiers of the Western Prince's Mansion. It was impossible to persuade the defeated soldiers of the Western Prince's Mansion to retreat.
"I really didn't see it. You're still quite brave." Lu Zhihui smiled lightly, and the surprise on her face flashed, and then said, "You really have the surname Emperor?"
"I said it, nothing I said before was lying." Huang Yuchen breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't have to explain his life experience before. It seemed that everyone in the world knew him and his identity. Suddenly, he met someone who didn't believe him and he was still a little uncomfortable.
"Okay, sister, let me believe you for the time being, then tell me what are you going to do?" Lu Zhihui looked at Huang Yuchen with interest and continued: "If you are really from the East Prince's Mansion, for the current West Prince's Mansion, you are the enemy who picked their fruits of victory. They tried their best to travel through Siteng Sand, traveled a long distance to the Qitian Emperor Capital, but finally returned in a desperate situation. What would you do if they met a person from the East Prince's Mansion in such a wild place?"
Huang Yuchen sighed softly. To be honest, he had no clue in his heart, but for some reason, in front of Lu Zhihui, he could not pretend to be in a state of righteousness. He just said softly: "If Huang Chengbi personally led it, there are still some opportunities."
"Why, do you know Huang Chengbi?" Lu Zhihui raised her eyebrows and asked.
"No, but my elder brother has some friendship with him, and the distance between the Eastern Prince's Mansion and the Western Prince's Mansion is the farthest, and there is no conflict of interest. Besides, my elder brother has defeated Huang Zhengchu of the Northern Prince's Mansion and has not had a head-on conflict with the Western Prince's Mansion. He can deal with it. Moreover, since they are defeated and have arrived here, they must return to the Western Prince's Mansion. We just need to lend them a way. They have no reason to occupy the sand city." Huang Yuchen said the thought in his heart truthfully, which was also a very normal idea.
"Haha, you are really an innocent child." Lu Zhihui chuckled when she heard this. Huang Yuchen's innocence added a little to her favor: "Do you know what a defeated army is?"
"I naturally know this." Huang Yuchen looked up and looked at Lu Zhihui. When he talked about this, he thought of the scenes he had participated in the battle in the enclave before, and was no longer attracted by Lu Zhihui's clothes: "A good army will retreat properly after being defeated. This is the best way to protect oneself. The retreating army should not cause any trouble during the retreating process, which is also common sense."
"It seems that you have read a lot of books." Lu Zhihui smiled and said, "But you are still too naive. Let me tell you the truth. According to the information I have, Huang Chengbi had already returned to the Xiwang Mansion through a continuous teleportation array as soon as the army failed. Now the two generals led his remaining soldiers back to the Xiwang Mansion were his two generals. Because the Xiwang Mansion failed, the supply line that Huang Chengbi had bribed along the way had been cut off. His army had no logistics at all. Tens of thousands of remaining soldiers were led by two brutal generals, and there was no supply. You said, what would they do if such remaining soldiers arrived in Shacheng?"
When Huang Yuchen heard this, he frowned. This was something he had never expected.
"Also, along the way, the Xiwang Mansion army almost robbed them all the way. All the nodes on their supply lines had not escaped their looting, both in the city-state and sects. Those people used to be the supply points for the Xiwang Mansion, and after the failure of the Xiwang Mansion, they wanted to take advantage of the situation, especially when the Qitian New Emperor ascended the throne, the Xiwang Mansion suddenly became a thief, and they almost fought all the way back. Tell me, how can such a defeated army retreat?" Lu Zhihui was stunned when she saw Huang Yuchen and continued.
Huang Yuchen frowned even more. He did not expect that the Eastern Palace would cause such a chain reaction when entering the imperial capital. He did not expect that Huang Chengbi would leave his men and return alone. Now the Western Palace army is already trapped beasts and fight. After going through a lot of hardships, they finally reached the edge of the sand. After passing the sand city, they could enter the sand and pass through the sand. It was the boundary of the Western Palace. At this time, the troops that had already killed red-eyed were definitely dead, and there was no possibility of communication.
Moreover, Huang Yuchen could almost immediately think that along the way, they basically encountered all possible things. People who were ally before might turn against each other in an instant, and it was basically impossible to speak.
It is almost a consensus that the generals or soldiers of the Western Prince's Mansion can go to the imperial capital to receive rewards immediately. I am afraid that the people who provided convenience to the Western Prince's Mansion along the way all had the same idea. If the Western Prince's Mansion wins, they will be successful. If the Western Prince's Mansion is defeated, they will be successful. This plan is really great, but they did not expect that the defeated army of the Western Prince's Mansion can still have such combat effectiveness.
The combat effectiveness of the troops of the Western King's Mansion is indeed extremely strong. Only the most elite tens of thousands of troops in the Eastern King's Mansion can compete with the troops of the Western King's Mansion. The Western King's Mansion is located in a very remote place and has difficulty in survival. This has created the unique and tough character of the people in the Western Regions. They are very different from the soldiers of the Eastern King's Mansion. The soldiers of the Eastern King's Mansion fight because they have faith in their hearts. The soldiers of the Western King's Mansion fight because they want to live.
If the Northern King Emperor Zhengchu had not had the support of powerful mysterious power, it would be impossible for him to defeat the Western King's Mansion on the front battlefield. Without real powerful force, Emperor Chengbi would not have made up his mind to enter the imperial capital. When he sent troops, almost everyone believed that the great cause of the Western King's Mansion army had been accomplished.
Faced with such a force, and having completely lost trust in anyone, all they want is to live and go back alive. As for who is standing in front of them, it doesn't matter.
Huang Yuchen was silent. He originally planned to agree to Lu Zhihui's conditions first and then wait for an opportunity to act, but it was obvious that this woman was not so easy to be deceived. She blocked Huang Yuchen back in a few words. The reason why she proposed this condition was that Huang Yuchen retreated and stayed honestly in the sand city.
"I know you can't do it, but don't worry. As long as you stay in Shacheng, I will keep you safe and sound." Lu Zhihui looked at Huang Yuchen with a smile on her face. Her favor for this innocent boy has been rising, and she is completely unwilling to let him take risks. In such a wild area, there are really not many people or things that can make Lu Zhihui moved.
Huang Yuchen frowned, raised his head, and said to Lu Zhihui softly: "Miss Lu, I can stay in the sand city for the time being, but after the matter is over, I still have to go to the jungle. What I want to do is related to my entire family and must be done."
"Okay, when this is over, I'll accompany you sister." Lu Zhihui smiled slightly at Huang Yuchen, full of charm.
